In that list I think you have a lot of very good players and more than a few with definite potential to be some of the best at their position in the world |
I'll agree with a ton of 'very good' players but which of those players is going to be 'the best in the world at their position?'
The problem is that clubs buy foreign players to take these guys' positions and English players dont go anywhere else to play.
How many English players are plying their trade in Italy, Spain or Germany?
Do you think from an international perspective any of those players are going to accomplish anything during their careers?
